Jay, The SCSI INQUIRY command should return a 0 for the peripherial device type field. It should also do a MODE SENSE to determine the configuration of the device…although it could do a READ CAPACITY command. Interesting point though…my book doesn't show a SCSI device type of 7, only 0 to 5 00 Direct Access device (eg. Magnetic disk) 01 Sequential Access device (eg. Magnetic tape) 02 Printer device 03 Processor Device 04 Write Once…Read Many device (some optical disks) 05 Read Only..Direct Access device (some optical disks) Don
